Tokyo, 1960s. An unassuming but respected homicide detective, Eitaro Imanishi has a knack for both writing haiku and solving crimes. But when a mysterious unidentified body appears on the tracks of a rail yard, Imanishi has his work cut out for him. Soon, he finds himself on a strange chase that takes him from the hip hangouts of avant-garde Tokyo to a spa in rural Honshu. And all the while, the body count is climbing.

“First-rate … In the classic tradition of Georges Simenon’s Inspector Maigret of Paris and P. D. James’s Chief Inspector Dalgliesh in England.”—New York Times Book Review
